Here's the weekly #OPM digest ! A one-stop guide to #music selections from 8 Fediverse #Musicians . It's a great place to get some #BandcampFriday selections, or maybe find a new favorite artist.
As always, you can find a permanent archive of these, with slightly longer writeups, at my blog. The permalink for this week's is here:
Man I got sucked into my current work project... I didn't even have time to listen to any music and not keeping up my #FletchsFridayReleases tradition makes me feel like I am letting down @HailsandAles 😮💨
When I do get a payout, I deposit it into a saving account and try to forget said money even exists. Also worth a mention the interest on this saving account is 4%. Right now my account balance is $10.02, again I’ve been depositing payout money since 2010 and with interest I still have less twenty bucks. This year Spotify changed their royalties payouts to only happen if a songs breaks 1000 streams. You can see why #BandcampFriday matters when artist get to get 100% of their profit. 📻🌹💜🎶
To give people an idea of how fucked royalty payouts are and why #fairtrademusicfriday aka #BandcampFriday is important to indie artists, please allow me to share my personal experience. First and foremost I’m not a ghost producer or commercial producer of anything popular, please keep this in mind. Since 2010 I’ve independently released music under various projects/alias/collabs, point and case my name is on something, when it streams or sells I see a royalty payment.…
hey you!
Yes you, doom-scrolling social media!
Do something different for the next 10 minutes, fight every dopamine urge to keep scrolling and click this link instead and discover some new music that might make your day/change your life! https://mtp-music.bandcamp.com/album/home
Why?
Why not! You might just discover something great, or you wont and you'll just go back to doom-scrolling, either way you wont get the time back, but you just might have a nice time!
Last month, 28000 streams made £86. If 9 people bought a physical CD or a digital download of my album, I’d have made the same. The system is broken. Today is #BandcampFriday where BC waive fees. All proceeds of downloads and CD sales go to artists! Please order here ➡️ https://ionafyfe.bandcamp.com/album/iona-fyfe
We like to use it for early availability. Before appearing at the streamers, it’s there on our page. Two “sided” singles for June, July, and August, and the tenth album, “Constructivism in Blue”. You might enjoy something from “Too Lazy for Words: An Instrumental EP.”
It's Bandcamp Friday again, and the last one for a while until they start back up in September! Be sure to support your favorite artist today and pick up some of their music if you have the means. If you want to grab something from me, consider grabbing my latest happy hardcore single I made with my friend REIA.
#thefulllid- 3rd May 2024 - Happy Friday! We're diving into the frozen wastes with Goshawk, the latest @whitevault story. Our interstitials are recommendations for #bandcampfriday and Chill Music 2.0 send us into the weekend with the Hozier/Sleep Token mashup we didn't know we needed.
For this #bandcampfriday, we'd like to recommend our brand new release 'Monument in Time': Energetic, thrashy death metal with a pinch of black, packed with soul-purging riffs 🤘💀🤘. Available as digital album, on CD and (colored) vinyl: https://beyondthepalemetal.bandcamp.com/
NB: This Bandcamp Friday will be the last of its kind until September, so select your purchases well. You still have 15 hours left 😉 Happy hunting! #newmetal#newmusic#newmusicfriday#bandcamp#metal#metalmusic
